Default Buying new bearings question.

Do I have to buy a new nut or does it come with one? My front right wheel does not turn easy like left so I know I need bearings soon. I was told not to use the nut again and it even says it lol on the nut. I just have no idea where to buy the nut. Thanks ahead of time. Lol I hate trying to do things myself. I can't even find a place to buy a new spindle nut, guess I'll have to goto the dodge dealer.

In the aftermarket OEM replacements those only come with the new axles from what I remember, but thats been almost a year since I have stood behind a parts counter. The dealer should have one.

Just got one a few months ago. my whole wheel setup was about to fall off. I'm a newer car owner so i didn't know the *play* in the tire was bearings. what first tipped me off was the metallic grease which even a newer car owner should know it means the bearings are shot. but yeah they didn't come with the bolt. What i did, which probably shouldn't have but i'm impatient, was to save the bolt from the prior installation and just put some kinda loc-tite on the thread around it and let the truck sit for 6-8 hours. still holding even now, so that might be what you need. though someone might have a better idea then me.
